They were in one of the 50 foot channels and now are in about 25 feet of water![]()
I spy Otter Pond on that chart.Ya but that stretch just east of Bodkin creek is damn tricky for a big ship. Channel is very narrow, and if you are a smidge off in judging the turn you are in 15 feet of water immediately on the other side of the mark.

No, they want to be paid for using the dredged channels.Deepening is a huge expense not borne by the shipping companies.
who, the captain or the pilot. I guess ultimately the captain has the end all responsibility, but presumably the pilots are there since they know the local waters...tehy fucked up
So this mean that the pilot needed to wiggle the ship down the channel"Current draft" 13m
